What I want to happen:
Djokovic defeats Nadal in three finals: Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. H2H is now 22-21 Nadal. Djokovic needs one more win to even things out and bring his streak to 7-0.
Nadal and Djokovic are playing an epic final at Roland Garros. It's 5-4 40-15 in the fifth with Nadal serving for the match. Djokovic makes this face. Nadal serves it out wide to Novak's forehand, who just slaps a cross court return winner. 40-30. Nadal works the next point and hits the winning smash, but stumbles into the net in the process. Djokovic points at Nadal. Deuce. Djokovic wins the next point and breaks back. 5-5.
After a comfortable hold, he seizes a 30-40 lead on Nadal's service game. Match point. Novak rips a backhand down the line and Nadal can only watch it sail past, in dismay. A resounding roar is heard in Court Philippe Chatrier as Djokovic rips his shirt.
What will probably happen:
Nadal wins 2 of the 3 Masters and Roland Garros.
I have none besides Djoker winning some stuff and Fognini being a factor in some stuff and I predict Nadal won't win RG this year but let me reminisce about a match...
Rome 2013: Less than a year ago Gulbis was destroying Nadal and with a first pump down 0-5 Nadal finally turned the momentum of the match. It was an incredibly inspiring match. What will Gulbis be up to this coming clay season?

That would be more than awesome. The justice would have finally be served after that disgrace with Pascal Maria last year.

Ohhh..It's been a long time since I saw a capy gif. So adorable. Silent kill? :twisted:
His form this year so far is not as good as last year. Maybe on clay he plays better because he has more time to set up that forehand.
Isn't that what is said every year?I feel it's the end of the line for Nadal. He's looked old, old, and older in the last couple of months. He might squeak out Rome, but I see Nole taking the other three and the changing of the guard being complete.
